Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Etihad Airways changing the fare structure?

Why is Etihad Airways changing the fare structure?

Our new Fare Choices
have been created with you in mind, to offer you more options and to clearly explain the
features which are offered for each fare.

We have also changed our baggage policy so we are more aligned with Etihad Airways
Partners, meaning you can enjoy a more seamless travel experience.

I am flying from London to Abu Dhabi in Economy Saver, and back in Economy Flex. Which of the features are included?

For cancellations, the
most restrictive rules will apply for your entire journey. All other features
are offered for each leg of your journey meaning you can choose different sets
of features on your outbound and return trip. This gives you greater control
over your journey. You can choose to pay for features on the legs where you need
them, and save money when you don’t.

In this instance, for baggage allowance, you will receive one 23kg bag
on your flight to Abu Dhabi, and two 23kg bags on your return. You will not be
able to cancel either of your flights but you will be able to make date changes
according to each leg. On your return journey you will also be eligible for priority
check-in and you will earn 100% miles.

I have booked on Etihad but part of my journey is on a partner airline. Which features are included?

I have booked on Etihad but part of my journey is on a partner airline. Which features are included?

Two features that are offered as part of our Fare Choices will be offered
whichever partner you fly with: change and cancellation
rules and earning
of mileage accrual.

However, we want to offer you the widest choice of destinations and so have
partnerships with many airlines. It is not possible to align all of our fare choice benefits on all of
these carriers. If one of the features offered as part of our Fare Choices is particularly
important to you, visit our partner airline’s website to see if they offer it
to their customers.
